A little while ago, I posted about how a friend asked me to make a duck and a polar bear for her daughter. I struggled a bit with the polar bear, it took a few attempts and lots of going back and forth on whether to have it stand upright or on all fours. No more fretting now because the polar bear is done!

Whack-A-Bear?

It’s already been mailed to the sweet little girl I made it for, so hopefully it makes it to her before her mom sees this post! I’m fairly please with how it turned out, especially since it looked like a Whack-A-Mole for quite some time. This was probably the most separate parts I’ve ever created for one project (not counting the octopus because its tentacles are all identical.)

I’m always looking to make changes and improvements though, so if you have any feedback, please share it in the comments. I’m thinking of developing a black bear and a panda based on this polar bear, but we shall have to see. Maybe it would look better with fuzzy yarn? Who could say no to a fuzzy bear? And before you list it as an necessary improvement, don’t worry, it does have a tail.
